A woman has made history in Brazil after welcoming a giant baby that measured 2ft tall and weighing over 16lbs - the biggest baby her state had ever seen. As reported by <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/mum-gives-birth-giant-baby-29010586" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Mirror</a>, the wonderful news was shared on social media by officials from the Hospital Padre Colombo, who revealed that 27-year-old mom Cleidiane Santos dos Santos has welcomed her new baby boy via C-section on Wednesday (January 18) in Parintins, Amazonas State. Named Angerson Santos, the big bubba was welcomed to the world weighing an impressive 16.1lbs and measuring 1.9357ft tall. This broke the state record for the biggest baby to be born, which previously stood at 13lbs and 1.8ft tall.

However, in what is certainly an inconvenience, all the clothes Angerson's mom and dad had bought for him don't fit - as he's already twice the size of the average newborn baby.

Additionally, the hospital is accepting kind donations from locals, such as extra-large diapers and clothes for babies aged 9-12 months. Amazingly, despite his impressive size, Angerson is still nowhere near the world record for the heaviest baby to ever be born. The Guinness World Records reports that the heaviest baby to ever be born was a boy who was born to a healthy mom in Aversa, Italy, way back in 1955. In that instance, the baby tipped the scales at an unbelievable 22lbs and 8ozs! Congratulations to the family! <h6>Featured image credit: Facebook/Hospital Padre Colombo</h6>
